Famagusta EOA Saves 389,000 Cubic Meters of Water

The Famagusta District Self-Government Organisation (EOA) has reduced unaccounted-for water by 389,000 cubic meters in one year. This translates to water savings and a financial benefit of €300,000, excluding VAT.

According to the president of EOA, Giannis Karousos, the reduction in unaccounted-for water is due to improved management and loss reduction. Despite a 3.75% increase in water supply, metered consumption increased by 11.07%, reducing the percentage of unaccounted-for water from 36.59% to 32.12%.

Mr. Karousos emphasized that this reduction is significant, but losses still exceed 30%, requiring continuous effort and investment. Proposed measures include upgrading networks, installing monitoring systems, smart meters, and strengthening controls.

• Avgorou: Daily supply reduced by 10%.
• Acheritou: Supply reduced by 12,000 cubic meters in the summer of 2025.
